Richard expresses his fascination with SpaceX and the incredible engineering and technology involved in space exploration. Vernon shares his love for video games and the art and science behind their creation.\nThey also touch on the emotions involved in software testing and how they can be clues to underlying problems. The conversation explores various emotions experienced during software testing, including frustration, joy, fear, suspicion, and familiarity. Frustration often arises when encountering bugs or issues, while joy can be felt when using a well-designed and user-friendly app. Fear is associated with the potential for irreversible actions or data loss. Suspicion arises when recognizing patterns or past experiences that may indicate potential problems. Familiarity helps in identifying missing features or inconsistencies.\nThe conversation also touches on the concept of behavior-driven development (BDD) and the importance of having conversations and automating them rather than just documenting them.\n#exploratorytesting #softwaretesting #testing #software #softwaredevelopment #emotions\n00:00 - Intro attempt no. 1\n00:50 - Intro attempt no. 2\n01:16 - ⚽️ Footy\n01:46 - ⚽️ Footy related preamble to the question\n03:01 - Dream job question\n03:36 - Space!
